Chord Number Indices
I can easily add chord numbers (I, ii, iii, IV, V etc) but I can't work out how to add an index for a seventh or a ninth etc? How is that done?

Chord numbers are not Chord symbols, only the latter are getting recognized and rendered by MuseScore

I appreciate that, chord numbers are typed in as text but there doesn't appear to be any way to add indices. So while I can easily type Ia, I can't type Ia with a small 7 to indicate it's a 7th voicing of the chord. Same with 9ths, 11ths etc. If I try and cut and paste from Microsoft WORD it renders the 7 at normal size. (It does it here as well viz: I7a).

Yes! but I'd like the "a" to be a normal sized letter, if possible.

As in text processors: double-click select letter, use the text bar at bottom left

I simply used staff text. When you enter text you get the bar at the bottom left of the picture that allows you to do a few adjustments of the text. For the 7 & 9, all I did was make them superscript and everything else was normal.

No such bar appears for me when I select text.

Did you click it or double click it? You have to double click it to get into edit mode and see the text editing toolbar. I'm not aware of any way to suppress this tool.

Double clicking doesn't make the text tool appear and Add, Stave Text is greyed out.

For existing staff (or any other type of text), if you click it it will change colors to show you have it selected. If you double click it or press ctrl+e after it's selected it will change to edit mode and the cursor will appear as in my picture. The toolbar will show up at this point and most menu items will be disabled. It is possible that your window is not maximized, but rather it has been made large and then moved down a bit so the toolbar disappears below the visible part of the screen. On the title bar at the top of the window, if the symbol next to the X is single box rather than a box on top of a box, this is probably the case. Click the box and the MuseScore window will take up exactly the space of your screen and the toolbar will become visible. This applies to windows, which it seems you are using. One more possibility I almost forgot about, if you have the Windows toolbar locked and it is covering the bottom of the MuseScore window you will not be able to see the text toolbar. Right click the Windows toolbar and edit the preferences or settings (depending on which version of Windows you use) and change the status of the toolbar to auto hide. This may also uncover the MuseScore text editing toolbar.

Right again Mike, you would never guess I sell software for a living would you? Hadn't notice my workspace settings. The toolbar appears now when I select text. Thank you for your patience (and Shoichi's)

Absolutely spot on! But you and Mike are teasing me now. How is this done? I don;t have the tool bar you show in your screenshot.

Should be there for both. But only for regular text, not for chord symbol, which are handled differently.
Also, see if you can find the SicialianNumerals font, which includes some very nice features here, including the ability to easily add a vertically stacked 6 & 4, etc.
